Biden will be 82 (I think) in 2024.
Are people seriously talking about Biden running again? I'll be impressed if he makes it through this term. He's clearly in a serious decline already. The democrats need to start building some young blood up for the crown, otherwise the next term will look like Weekend at Bernie's - though it's difficult to see him have any chance of winning.
Yeah, there are people who think it will be Biden vs Trump again. If that happens, I fear Trump will win this time. I do not want Trump to be president! I do not want Biden, either. I really wish an excellent candidate would rise up through the ranks, but I have no idea who it could be.
Would you vote for me if I ran?
I'd make no promises except that I'd try my best.
If the choice was between you, Biden, and Trump.. HELLO MR PRESIDENT.
You know, that does make me feel good.
Not like, ya know, amazing, but good. Thank you.

Shit sucks. Russia's invasion, a hurricane, Covid, Biden's transition... all of it is basically helping to hurt oil and gasoline production, which is causing a massive increase. We've got several refineries that have been damaged or shut down during or prior to Covid. Which didn't help and with Russia's invasion and the subsequent oil embargo, supply is low for both oil and gasoline. Demand is high.
Biden is trying to get oil companies to do more, drill more but, well... this isn't a communist country. Only so much Biden can do. And since the energy transition is being worked on, there isn't alot of interest to build new refineries. (last one was built in the 70s fyi)
